The Top Ten

1Noir Désir

The only one I know. it sounds strange, but it's very good. I recommend it.

VERY GOOD BUT VERY DARK... SATAN IS THE GREAT INSPIRATION.

The best french rock band. Just sad that the singer and leader gone wrong :(

2Téléphone

This band is obviously the best french rock band ever. They have pretty good riffs, good compositions, very rythmic songs. And I think they are the most famous french rock band in others countries.

3Magma

Better than any progressive rock band from the entire world.

4Trust

Their music is so violent, so protest! I love them. Their song "Antisocial" has been also sang by Anthrax, Children Of bodom and tagada jones!

5Bérurier Noir

6Indochine

To be honest this is the only french band I know. I know a respectful number of French singers though and I like their work. Thanks for making this list. I'm going to explore your recommendations now!
